Jaime wants to know how fast she can type, so she times herself as she types a paper. The paper has 410 words in it, and Jaime types it in 10 minutes. What is her typing rate, in words per minute?

410 words/ 10 minutes=41 words per minute
Or you take off the zero of both numbers because you know 41 * 1= 41

Answer:

41 words per minute

Explanation:

You just need to divide words by minutes and that will give you words per minute.

410 words / 10 minutes = 410 / 10 words per minute = 41 words per minute
